Facebook users are being warned after a hoax message began to spread on the social networking site.

Some users have received a message that warns them not to accept friend requests from an account named Jayden K. Smith. The Telegraph reports the message says that "Smith" is a hacker and that adding them as a friend will give the account access to the user's Facebook page.

The message then asks for the reader to forward the warning to others. While kindhearted users hope to help by sharing the message, it's all just another hoax.

A hacker would not be able to gain access to your account by simply friending you, according to the Telegraph.

There is no evidence that a Jayden K Smith account is on a mass friending spree. Friending a mass amount of accounts is against Facebook's terms and conditions, because the company treats the action as a form of spam.
